| The tetrapolar basidiomycete fungus Serpula lacrymans is an aggressive brown rot decayer, attacking wooden constructions in buildings in temperate regions worldwide. |
| Most basidiomycete fungi do not undergo nuclear fusion to form diploid nuclei until just prior to meiosis. |
| Despite some doubt on the association with a specific teleomorph, basidiomycete affinities seem clear. |
| An isolate of the basidiomycete Chondrostereum purpureum has been developed as a biocontrol agent under the trade name Chontrol in collaboration with the Victoria-based company Mycologic Inc. |
| A molecule derived from the amino acid glutamine, theanine is typically found in tea and also in the basidiomycete mushroom Boletus badius. |
| The result is that over all these initiatives in classification have hovered the spectres of basidiomycete, and especially ascomycete, taxonomy. |
